React Native is the new hotness for creating mobile apps using JavaScript, but what good is a native app if it doesn't /shoop/ and \swoop\ like a native app?

In this talk Sal will discuss the different ways to pull off native (gpu driven) animations using the tools built into React Native. This will include how to effectively use LayoutAnimation, how to craft your own animations using the Animated class, and even how to trivially turn your own boring components into fancy animated components with ease.

Sal will also do a brief introduction to setting up a React Native project from scratch, so even those who have not used React Native can follow along.
